Legislative Report

Assembly Faces Record Number Os Bills

By Senator John F. Augsburger A record number of bills have been introduced in the two chambers of the Indiana Legislature during this 96th General Assembly. The total already has passed the 1967 record of 1,377 bills with those offered late this week not included in this session’s total of 1,397. This was the last week for introduction of bills. The major portion of the legislators’ work in the refraining days of this session will be in committee meetings, where the bills are discussed and evaluated. Less than half the legislation offered is reported out of committee for future action, and a still smaller portion eventually becomes law. The fiscal experts in the legislature are still wrestling with the thorny problem of the budget for the next two years. In the House, the budget subcommittee of the Ways and Means committee is preparing a final version of its report, which offers a budget within the framework of Governor Whitcomb’s suggestions. It appears that there are going to be some changes in the vehicle inspection law. A joint subcommittee on public safety, composed of both House and Senate members, has recommended that the regulations be altered to make it more palatable, especially with regard to front-end alignment, and also has recommended that the effective date of the law be postponed. These, generally, also are Governor Whitcomb’s feelings on this law, which has stirred almost as much furore in this session as the state’s fiscal situation. A Medicaid bill has been reported to the floor with a “dopass” recommendation by a House committee on welfare and social security. Passage of this bill means that the state can participate in Title XIX of the Social Security Act and will be eligible to receive federal matching funds to help pay the state’s welfare medical costs. Governor Whitcomb said in his budget message that passage of the bill means that the federal government will make more than sl2 million available to local units of government to defray the cost of medical services now supported by local property taxes. The 32 bills pocket - vetoed by then Governor Branigin during the 1967 session and later ruled as law by the Indiana Appellate court were repealed by the House and Senate. The governor’s budget for the next bi-annum will probably be around two and half billion. It will be given to the assembly Tuesday or Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Emory Guy of Syracuse called on Mr. and Mrs. Lester Reed of Goshen one day last week.

May Disband Pierceton Street Fair According to word received on Tuesday the Pierceton Street Fair Association may disband if more interest is not shown. Members of the association have been meeting on Wednesday nights in the town hall for the past three weeks with only three or four persons attending the meetings- At least 12 persons are needed for the activities. Plans are to see if more people can be made interested in the fair. If not the association vdll be forced to disband. A final meeting or an organizational meeting will be held in the near future depending on interest shown. Study Feed Grain Provisions, ASCS Urges The chairman of the Kosciusko county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee today urged farmers to study provisions of the 1969 feed grain program to insure they don’t overlook benefits available only to those who participate. The chairman, Scott Horn, said producers who are eligible to participate in the voluntary production control program have received their notification of “base acreage” as well as general information on program provisions. Further details on the program are available at the county ASCS office and from county and community ASC committeemen. Mr. Horn said the principal benefits to cooperators are the availability of price - support loans, price - support payments, acreage diversion payments and higher prices resulting from a better balance between supply and demand for the commodities. Farmers must reduce their feed grain acreage to be eligible for these benefits. Sign-up period for the program is February 3 through March 21. The 1969 program is similar to the one in effect last year — with the only major exception that barley is included this year. The other two eligible feed grains are corn and grain sorghum. Goal of this year’s program, according to county ASCS officials, is the diversion to conserving uses of more acreage than last year. Nationally, the goal is a diversion of 37 million acres — nearly five million more acres than last year when barley was not in the program. If the diversion goal is reached, Mr. Horn said, it is expected that total production would be slightly less than utilization, thereby resulting in a reduction in carryover stocks.
